I’ll add some nuance: People buy cars without CarPlay or AA, particularly if it’s otherwise a top tier car and software: notably Tesla and Rivian.I was amazed by the GM decision. People are too tech savvy. They won’t want a car that doesn’t support CarPlay or Android Auto
But GM has no reputation for its auto software and their reputation as an EV maker is good but not Tesla. So this is a bonkers move that I expect will fail and they’ll reverse it in about three years.
That said, they’re hiring top people from Apple so who knows?
